Our Story

Where it all started
„From Paris to Seoul, Jeune Premier is currently the coolest Back To School brand!" was the headline of a newspaper article in De Tijd."

When I couldn't find a beautiful backpack for my son Ralph in 2012, I sat down at the kitchen table and designed one myself without further ado. Ralph loved colors and I valued aesthetics and quality. With this in mind, I wanted to design something colorful and sturdy at the same time, while moving away from polyester in bright colors.

Brand purpose

Why we exist
Jeune Premier aims to inspire children to cultivate their talents, embrace their uniqueness, and fearlessly express their individuality throughout their everyday school adventure.

Vision

our aspirational goal for the world
Leading the way in trendsetting school bags, combining premium design, high quality and adventurous comfort for an unforgettable school journey.

Mission

how we get there
We empower young minds to embrace individuality and unleash creativity through innovative school bags that set trends in the captivating world of fashion during daily school adventures.

I wanted to create a backpack that would reflect the child's personality not only on the playground, but also at home and on the street. As small as it all started, Ralph and I were very pleased with the result, and soon the spark spread to many parents and children at the school gate. Ten years later, more than 150,000 Jeune Premier satchels are sold worldwide each year.

Jeune Premier has now spread the school fashion all over the world: from France to Russia and from the Emirates to South Korea. Today, the brand's proud distributors include 1000 retail outlets in 37 countries. Not bad at all for a craft that began at the kitchen table

The brand name ‘Jeune Premier’ refers to the Flemish call sign we use to denote a young up-and-coming talent that spontaneously enters the spotlight, unintentionally but remarkably!

The school bags are designed for children up to 12 years, but also want to inspire parents with their outstanding quality.

Jeune Premier wants to make children happy all over the world with its original and colorful designs. Since school fashion varies from country to country, Jeune Premier offers backpacks and accessories in all shapes and sizes. Children should be able to go to school as comfortably and safely as possible..

"We do all this to put smiles on children's faces, because our children are the most precious asset we have!”
